   read -p " ==> close all LO windows to allow for automatic PDF generation <=="

The tool jodconverter allows filetype convertion from the terminal or a script ;-)
 # start OOo and set it to listen on port 8100
 soffice -headless -accept="socket,port=8100;urp;"
 # convert a presentation to pdf
 jodconverter file.odp file.pdf
